Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

    @PizzaGamecube @CrashSpyroBanjo @Canadianguyehh I'm not saying Activision is innocent. They merged with blizzard. I'm saying they are basically two different companies. That's why you don't see the Activision logo on games like overwatch. By not buying crash or Spyro games your not punishing blizzard the main problem here

  • CJ_881 CJ-881🟠BLM🟠1/3 (@CJ_881) reported

    Avoid playing the following: Activision: Call of Duty, Tony Hawk, Spyro/Crash Blizzard: WoW, Overwatch, Diablo King: Crash On the Run, and Candy Crush (and basically any other one of those stupid Bejeweled clones they keep making)

  • istarmaxie Maxie✨ (@istarmaxie) reported

    Do not play overwatch tomorrow, the employees at blizzard are going a walkout and they need to see a change. Do not give this company money tomorrow, do not buy anything. You're part of the problem if you do.

  • EFreshPlays Efreshplays Gaming (@EFreshPlays) reported

    @SivaTechFromXB There are crazy people in communities like Overwatch (which I argue is worse) COD, Fortnite etc. I think our problem is people focus on them too much. Focus on the good ones instead and lift them up. Crappy people will be crappy people

  • TBob53 T-Bob Hebert (@TBob53) reported

    @Glap I’m with you man, Wow, Overwatch, Hearthstone, Classic… these are all games I’ve dedicated years of my life and hundreds of not thousands of dollars to At least it’s easier now tho to back off because all these games have been ruined by that same broken culture

  • Just__Purrfect 🌿W∆CK0 🌿 (@Just__Purrfect) reported

    I have no problem leaving Overwatch after the blizzard controversy They lost me with the trash ranking system and the most likely overpriced dlc painted as a sequel

  • misirl0ou diego (@misirl0ou) reported

    @Quick_Killings @mattriggo @IGN Overwatch 2 has no hype since they killed 1's momentum by just focusing on comp WoW and Diablo are jokes nowadays COD has actual competition this fall Crash and Spyro are dead/on hold bc their studios are working on COD Tony Hawk idk

  • dreamyy64 HalcyonDaze (@dreamyy64) reported

    Hi @BlizzardAccount, I have an issue regarding Overwatch, mind if I elaborate?

  • YeslekGreb Just Kel (@YeslekGreb) reported

    @BlizzardCS why do you have the worst possible system for creating tickets to report issues. Fix the ability to reconnect to games in Overwatch ffs

  • heisockinyuras Joell Heisockinyuras (@heisockinyuras) reported

    @Xbox I bought overwatch but it says I need game Pass to play it even tho its got nothing to do with game Pass so please fix this

  • mercymaking Nova (@mercymaking) reported

    formatting my laptop to use it cleaned, without overwatch or other game i installed there... now i can use it without lag :)

    @huguuuuuhhhh @jasonschreier Don't include crash Spyro and overwatch in this. They have absolutely nothing to do with it

  • ItsManamus ItsManamus (@ItsManamus) reported

    Finally, I fixed my Blue screen issue on #Overwatch.. The last Update made the game run at 200% scale again.

  • Glacier0516 Glacier0516 (@Glacier0516) reported

    @ProxyXAimee IMO Apex used to be good but then they fell into the same trap overwatch fell into, they added too many characters for them to balance, Titanfall 2 doesn’t have the problem as much *Cough* **** you Tone *Cough* but because EA sucks they were (probably) forced to abandoned it

  • menatros menatros (@menatros) reported

    @dogspinster Overwatch is compeletly **** right now and thats your responsibility. Hope they make you fix that too. An absolute emberrassment among live service games that are supposed to get good content.

  • Flamingarrow72 Branden Reyes (@Flamingarrow72) reported

    @kronole404 @IGN No, just don't buy things IG, I'm still playing overwatch and don't plan on stopping mainly cause its been proven the the ow team isn't part of the issue and also because I have a crippling addiction.

  • kebab_ba Se Ba (@kebab_ba) reported

    @ATVI_AB I don't care too much about your lawsuit. But just take 20 seconds and implement 50 avoid slots in Overwatch. IF I DONT FIND GAMES, THAT IS MY ******* PROBLEM. 70% of the player base is just mentally unstable or just unable/unwilling to focus and TRY TO WIN #Overwatch

  • Conrthomas Conner (@Conrthomas) reported

    @JulesBjorn I would still watch Overwatch on Twitch because I don't think streamers deserve to take a hit to their revenue/viewcount/etc because of something that is wholly Blizzard's problem. Not streaming Overwatch would hurt streamers way more than it would punish Blizzard.

  • LucaMartino21 luca (@LucaMartino21) reported

    OVERWATCH FIX YOUR GAME. GET RID OF BASTION.

  • youmakemestay__ vivi ⁰³²⁵ 🐱 (@youmakemestay__) reported

    @CuddlyBangChan Atm heeeel veel call of duty cold war 🙈 verder wisselend crash bandicoot, spyro, lego games, overwatch, assassins creed reeks, borderlands reeks, fortnite noem maar op haha

  • KarioTwo MewKario 💙 (16 Days🎂) (@KarioTwo) reported

    i logged onto overwatch this morning to see someone in general chat name 'ilovehotmomz' say "rip gorge doyd" and "grandma the car crash was 9 years ago it's not your fault." 😳

  • SailorrSeb Seb (@SailorrSeb) reported

    I can't tell you how many times I've had quadruple kills today and play of the game has gone to some basic ****. Tell me POTG isn't broken #overwatch

  • Rawbone_saw haha cool fly (@Rawbone_saw) reported

    @PatStaresAt all that's missing is for overwatch 2 to crash and burn, burn it all down baybee.(this will not happen but dont **** on my dreams you bastards)

  • Stryxus Stryxus (@Stryxus) reported

    According to someone I know who still plays Overwatch. Since the Activision lawsuit stuff, barely anyone's playing the game now, there are random lag spikes for random people and it seems like only the most toxic people are left.

  • APyromancer 🪐🌙Stormcloak🌙🪐 (@APyromancer) reported

    i love playing competitive on overwatch, it’s the only game mode that i really play. but it saddens me that whenever i try to play around the 3rd or 4th match i disconnect from your servers. and no, this is not an internet connection problem.

  • butthetruthis1 ..but the truth is: (@butthetruthis1) reported

    @YongYea Come on Yong, we all know one damn good trailer for Overwatch 2 with some gameplay is all that's needed for a massive part of the community to ignore this issue - and maybe even defend Blizzard. Sad but true

  • haruuuuwo ⦮ ⦯ (@haruuuuwo) reported

    @ONEVOlCE yea u seen u kept flopping at overwatch and now u tell me not to. shut up and worry about ur damn broken keyboard

  • marquez_7cc R Márquez (@marquez_7cc) reported

    @PokemonUnite Sigh... We are gonna have the same problem as Overwatch and DPS aren't we...
